“Hundreds of thousands wounded and dead in Ukraine as war grinds on, intelligence suggests

“U.K. Ministry of Defence estimates around 320,000 Russian casualties”

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/russia-ukraine-1.7053035

I suspect Ukrainian losses are about 70% of Russian losses.

The you're stupid. Russia has an 8-1 edge in ammo fired. It doesn't take much to figure out the side at the kind of disadvantage is suffering a similar loss ratio in causalities.

Zeepers are dangerously delusional and danger to national security and safety of all citizens.

The Ukrain Army has been trying for six months to storm heavily defended trenches for nothing gained. I think the Ukrainian casualties far out number those of the Russians.

Naw.

Putin says they lost 370k not including prisoners and Wagner or other mercenaries. That number, 370k, is reported losses to the Kremlin. Since Russia has a financial interest to not have families get pensions for dead combatants, it’s probably much much higher.

My take is the Russians have 200-300k dead prisoners, 100-200k dead Wagner and other mercenaries, and 400k dead actual Russian soldiers. That puts Russian losses closer to 750k to 1 million. Plus the Russians have lost 4-5 million people who have fled to avoid conscription.

The Ukrainian have lost probably 300k, but those losses include about 120k civilians from Russia targeted attacks on civilian areas, murders, rapes and murders, and so forth. So Ukraine has lost probably 180-200k soldiers. That makes ratios of about 6-8:1 not including those that fled.

The Russians appear to be winning right now, even losing at those ratios.
